I would like to give a big “Thank You” to all of my readers and followers for the support you’ve shown over the past 3 years. It has been quite a journey for me beginning to write applications for Mac/iPhone, blogging at TUAW, and beginning my college career. Without my readers, I would not be where I am today. Of course, life is full of changes, and today I’d like to tell you about one of those changes.
As some of my readers may recall, I wrote a few articles for Mac|Life last year. Today, however, I started writing on Mac|Life’s website. You will be able to read my posts over there (I’ve already written two). I will mostly be writing Apple-related news, but you might also see me write articles of other interest.
In addition to reading my posts at Mac|Life, you can also read my rants on my Twitter feed (I’m @coryb).
I have a few more exciting projects I’m working on, but I’m not quite ready to announce anything just yet. For the latest, read this blog or follow me on Twitter.
Thanks for following!
-Cory

I have been talking about this cool little application since it first launched, and it was updated just yesterday with even more features! I’m talking, of course, about Nmobile from Njection.com. This GPS-enabled application gives you a turn-by-turn like display of police speed traps and school crossings.
The app gives you speech notifications of upcoming speed traps, and also lets you know the distance. If driving with your iPhone unlocked is not your cup of tea, the developer also allows for the application to still work while the iPhone is locked. One of the main points of this new version is the ability for brick-and-mortar retail stores to advertise and give coupons to users. Based on your location, you will be able to get coupons for local stores — the ads will be delivered directly to your phone to the application. The location-based ad engine will launch on July 20, 2009.
This very useful application is also very free and works with iPhone 3.0. Check out the new version today on the iTunes App Store [iTunes link].
While some might say that this application is comparable to apps like Trapster, in my testing, I have faired better in using Nmobile.
